It sounds like they tried to roll the drunk, and he wasn't as drunk as they thought, and he fought back. 

 

Possibly they arranged to have him take home by the motorbike driver after he had been robbed?

And the Triton got damaged how? 

Either the the neighbor is being rude & disrespectful or he doesn't know any better, he should have built his own wall and have a small gap between yours and his wall.

If the wife won't do anything about it, either speak with the farang neighbor or get the tessabaan or land office involved using your best Thai and/or Google translation.

He speaks Thai very well, but does he have a work permit?

I'm curious if he wrote the sign asking for money or if was a Thai, the sign has some good penmanship in various colors, just how long has he been here?

My Mrs. makes a video of her opening the packages for her "expensive" items. 

Rare to see and Indian traveling solo, perhaps an early morning swim gone wrong?

I received a Lazada order today, when I just checked the return option on my Windows 10 PC, it said this;

I've spoken with my Thai wife about when I pass and according to her, prices (donations) will vary from temple to temple and how much of ceremony the family wants.

Here's a AseanNow thread with more input;

How important is the trip?  If it's important, I'd get there early, check-in, then go have breakfast in the airport, either these places or the cheaper food court on the ground floor.

Before the guy is lynched it might be an idea to step back and gather statements, evidence and hold a trial.  I don't trust newspaper reports.

Has anyone in the official investigation called for a lynching or made statements about about him being guilty? No.

And no one here on AN is in position to alter the outcome of the investigation and I seriously doubt the Thai authorities are reading AN posts on what we think.

I-see hundreds of local beggars day in day out and who don’t get stopped,  so what’s the problem with the foreigner? Stealing thai jobs? 

So you'd be ok if Thai tourists started visiting your country and were begging on a daily basis?

Are these people committing a crime ?

Well there is a requirement for visiting foreigners to have a certain amount of money &/or enough money to support themselves, and if they are tourists, where's their follow-on airplane/travel ticket? It's not just Thailand that feels this way, many countries have the same requirement.

Those falang backpack beggars have been in/around Bangkok for decades, always seem to be same Khaosan road types.

Looks like the OP situation has been corrected, but there is something call "greedflation" that many companies are doing these days, basically they are raising their prices just because other companies are raising their prices. 

The term 'greedflation' refers to a price rise introduced by companies to take advantage of inflation and boost their profit margin, even if they do not need to. Production costs have not risen enough for price increases to be justified.

I know a farang business owner here in Pattaya that sells food, when I asked him about rising prices, he just smiled and said, other businesses rising their prices, allow him to raise his prices even though his overhead costs haven't gone up.

The OP would be better off trying for a ED visa with a school that more interested in collecting school fees than attendance. 

I know that final destination, it's out in the sticks.  That farang should worry about some Thai drivers getting some payback.

Thanks,thats exactly my plan...just one unknown, did you use/withdraw the 800k after a few months? 

Yes, after a few months of me doing monthly transfers and feeling sure about how to do it, I started using that money for other things. 

One small mistake I learned about was; that time I was using that one bank account for daily shopping, cash w/d, bill payments, etc. and I didn't update my bank book right after the overseas transfer and after several weeks, all my payments, deposits, w/d got consolidated and the FTT code wasn't in my bankbook but easily obtainable from the bank.

Now I have 2 bank accounts, one only for the monthly transfers, and the other for daily transactions, less photocopying during visa extension time. 

In the past, I've bought wood at Home Pro and they cut it to the size I needed,  no extra charge. Maybe stop in and ask them.

Check those stopovers carefully, I almost book one where it had a 27 hour layover.

The income tax is still a gray area and as this is pension by definition expect most countries tax treaties would exempt in any case.

I just finished my extension based on retirement last week, and when I showed the IO my bank letter with the 12 months of transfers, he asked me where does this money come from, pension or other? I replied pension,  and he asked for a letter showing, luckily I was able to produce it.
